EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) contracted with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to perform asbestos and limited lead-based paint building inspections for the Battle Creek Federal Center Building 1B (Building MI0538BC) located at 50 North Washington Avenue in Battle Creek, Michigan (Site). The purpose of the building inspection was to complete baseline building inspections, in general accordance with the AHERA regulations, and cost estimates to establish GSA’s environmental liability for asbestos. As directed by GSA, the collection of bulk material samples was to target discrete locations (insofar as reasonably practical) without damaging the esthetics of the facility. The building inspection encompassed suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint (LBP) associated with the building. The inspection was performed July 17, 2014 by Mr. Paul Semper of TRC, a State of Michigan Licensed Asbestos Inspector and Lead Risk Assessor. Bulk PLM samples were submitted to TRC Industrial Hygiene Laboratory in Windsor Connecticut, a National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory. Paint chip samples were submitted to EMC Laboratories in Phoenix, Arizona, an Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP) certified laboratory.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) contracted with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to perform an asbestos and limited lead-based paint building inspection for the Battle Creek Federal Center Building 1B (Building MI0538BC) located at 50 North Washington Avenue in Battle Creek, Michigan (Site). The purpose of the building inspection was to complete baseline building inspections, in general accordance with the AHERA regulations, and cost estimates to establish GSA’s environmental liability for asbestos. As directed by GSA, the collection of bulk material samples was to target discrete locations (insofar as reasonably practical) without damaging the esthetics of the facility. The building inspection encompassed suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint (LBP) associated with the building. The inspection was performed July 17, 2014 by Mr. Paul Semper of TRC, a State of Michigan Licensed Asbestos Inspector and Lead Risk Assessor. Copies of training certificates and state licenses (where applicable) are presented in Appendix E, Project Personnel Certifications.
2.0 ASBESTOS SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
2.1 Sampling Procedures
The asbestos building inspection, bulk material sampling, material condition assessments, and analytical procedures were performed in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) 40 CFR Part
763. In general the building inspection procedures included first identifying materials suspected to contain asbestos and then collecting samples of the suspect materials for laboratory analysis to determine if the materials are ACMs. The USEPA-AHERA defines ACM as any material containing greater than one percent (>1.0%) asbestos.
Suspect material homogeneity determination is based on the following criteria:
Similar physical characteristics (e.g., same age, color, and texture, etc.);
Application (e.g., sprayed-on, troweled-on, assembly into a system, etc.); and Material function (e.g., thermal insulation, floor tile, wallboard system, stucco plaster, fireproofing, adhesives, asphalt roofing, etc.).
In accordance with USEPA-AHERA sampling methodology, multiple samples are collected for each suspect homogenous material application in order to reduce chances of reporting false negatives. The number of samples collected for each material type was based on the information listed in the following table, and found in the AHERA regulation.
Bulk Sampling Strategy*
Material Homogeneous Areas Units Minimum Number of Samples*
Thermal System Insulation Less than 6 SF or LF of patched
Less than 6 SF or LF of non-patched
More than 6 SF
SF/LF
3 samples per homogenous area
- 2 -
Material Homogeneous Areas Units Minimum Number of Samples*
Friable Surfacing less than 1,000 1,000 to 5,000 more than 5,000
SF

SF
Non-friable Surfacing - - - SF 3 Friable and Non-friable Miscellaneous Materials
- - - LF / SF / EA 3
*Fewer samples may be collected of materials found in limited quantity or accessibility as determined by the Inspector SF = square feet; LF = linear feet; EA = each
Sampling of building materials was conducted using hand tools to cut or bore small samples of materials. Once a piece of material is dislodged, the sample was placed into a laboratory provided sampling container and labeled with a unique identification number. The material condition was also inspected and assessed for damage.
2.2 Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogenous material was performed by the TRC inspector to determine the condition of the materials. The following describes how the material was assessed by the TRC inspector. Assessment includes visual inspection and physically touching the material as well as making considerations for future disturbance to a material.
This information is combined to determine appropriate response actions and developing management plans/procedures for identified ACMs. In accordance with GSA’s Inventory Reporting and Information System (IRIS) and based on the physical assessment findings, the ACMs were placed into one of the following three categories:
Good = Undamaged Fair = Damaged (less than 10% locally or 25% distributed) Poor = Significantly damaged (at or over 10% locally or 25% distributed)
Because the physical assessment is used to determine which response actions will be chosen to manage the asbestos, proper identification and assessment of ACM are vital to the effective implementation of the management program.
2.3 PLM Analysis Methodology
Laboratory analytical services were provided by TRC Industrial Hygiene Laboratory in Windsor Connecticut, a National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory
(NVLAP# 101424-0).
PLM samples were analyzed utilizing the USEPA’s Test Methods: Methods for the determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials [USEPA/600/R-93/116 (1993)], and the McCrone Research Institute’s The Asbestos Particle Atlas as method references. Using this method, analysis was performed by using visual estimation of the sample composition and slide preparation(s) for microscopic examination and asbestos identification. The samples were analyzed for asbestos (i.e. chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite/tremolite), fibrous non-asbestos constituents (e.g. mineral wool, cellulose, etc.), and non-fibrous constituents. Using a stereoscope, the Microscopist visually estimated relative amounts of each constituent by determining the volume of each constituent in proportion to the total volume of the sample.
- 3 -
One positive result exceeding 1.0% asbestos content for a material is all that is required to deem a material as ACM by definition. As is standard practice in the industry, if a certain sampled material is determined to have asbestos exceeding 1% in concentration, the laboratory is instructed to stop analysis (“Stop-Positive”) for materials with multiple samples collected. Thus, the remaining subsequent samples of this same material would not be analyzed and a positive determination for the material is concluded (i.e. the material is classified as ACM).

2.5 ACM Conclusions and Recommendations
2.5.1 Identified ACMs
Results of this asbestos building inspection identified the following ACMs at the subject building structure:
- 5 -
Gray Frame Caulking
Unless otherwise noted above in the table, the materials identified were found to be in Good condition.
2.5.2 Assumed ACMs
The following un-sampled suspect building materials identified during this building inspection were assumed to be asbestos containing (as illustrated in the table and results above):
Vibration Dampener Roofing Materials
2.5.3 Recommendations
Identified and assumed ACM should be managed via an Asbestos Management Plan designed by an AHERA accredited Asbestos Management Planner.
Prior to performing renovation or demolition in the building, GSA should perform a Pre- Alteration Assessment to determine if asbestos containing materials will be impacted by the proposed project. The Pre-Alteration Assessment should include destructive investigation to identify potential hidden/concealed materials that were inaccessible while conducting this building inspection.
If disturbed or removed, ACM and/or assumed ACM would require special handling and disposal in accordance with applicable asbestos regulations. For additional recommendations please see section 3.0 Asbestos Management.
3.0 ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT
3.1 Response Action Options
AHERA identifies five possible response actions for managing asbestos in buildings:
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program -- This is a program of work practices designed to maintain friable ACBM in good condition and ensure cleanup of asbestos fibers previously released. An effective O&M program can prevent further release by minimizing and controlling friable ACBM disturbance or damage.
• Repair -- This involves returning damaged ACBM to an undamaged condition or to an intact state by replacing limited sections or patching damaged areas.
• Encapsulation -- This involves the treatment of ACBM with a material that surrounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent the release of fibers. The encapsulant either creates a membrane over the surface (bridging encapsulant) or penetrates the material and binds its components together (penetrating encapsulant).
Both types of encapsulant are applied to the material surface using airless spray equipment at low pressure to reduce release of fibers during the application.
• Enclosure -- This involves creating an airtight, impermeable, permanent barrier around ACBM to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The barrier is
- 6 -typically attached physically or sprayed on. For example, materials such as PVC or corrugated metal may be fastened around insulated piping, or a barrier may be constructed around asbestos fireproofing on structural members by spraying material that cures into a hard shell.
• Removal -- This involves the taking out or the stripping of substantially all ACBM from a damaged area, a functional space, or a homogeneous area in a school building.
3.2 Recommended Response Actions
Under the AHERA model, the response action to be taken must be "sufficient to protect human health and the environment." Once it is determined which response actions meet these criteria, the person responsible for facility asbestos management may choose the action that is the "least burdensome." Based on this criteria and the material physical assessments, TRC recommends the following Response Actions for ACMs identified at this Site.
3.2.1 ACM in Poor Condition:
Significantly damaged ACM should be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
The removal should be performed in accordance with AHERA guidelines and all applicable regulations.
3.2.2 ACM in Fair Condition:
Damaged ACM should be repaired and/or removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
The repair and/or removal should be performed in accordance with AHERA guidelines and all applicable regulations.
3.2.3 ACM in Good Condition:
Intact and undamaged ACM should be managed in place via an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) designed by an AHERA Accredited Management Planner.
3.3 Preventative Measures
3.3.1 Maintenance
Identified ACM, assumed ACM and presumed ACM should be maintained in a Good and undamaged condition to reduce asbestos exposure. These materials should be managed via an Asbestos Management Plan designed by an AHERA accredited Asbestos Management Planner.
Any work proposed to be done in areas where ACMs, assumed ACMs, or presumed ACMs are present should be approved by GSA prior to commencement. Any contractor(s) scheduled to perform work in areas of known, assumed or presumed ACMs should be made aware of the potential hazards present.
Abatement: Should abatement action become necessary for ACM/Assumed/Presumed ACM, GSA should contact an approved environmental consultant to evaluate the ACM and determine the appropriate response action. The consultant should prepare an abatement action specification and monitor the abatement activity to help ensure proper procedures and work methods are utilized by the abatement contractor.
- 7 -
3.3.2 Condition Monitoring
All building personnel should take an active role in monitoring the condition of ACMs throughout the subject building. The condition of the identified ACMs/Assumed ACMs should be monitored regularly.
If an ACM is observed to be in non-intact condition (fair or poor condition), GSA should be notified and the correct Response Action implemented in accordance with Section 3.2 of this report.
3.3.3 Notification
GSA should share the contents of this report with employees and individuals who may come into contact with the identified areas.
All potentially impacted parties, including but not limited to building staff, tenants, occupants, contractors and vendors, should be notified of the presence of ACMs and instructed not to disturb them and to report any disturbances.
3.3.4 Training
The Asbestos Program Manager as well as maintenance and custodial staff should receive Asbestos Awareness Training in accordance with AHERA guidelines.
3.4 Recommendations for Future Building Inspections and Recordkeeping
Prior to performing renovation or demolition in the building, GSA should perform a Pre- Alteration Assessment to determine if ACM will be impacted by the proposed project. The Pre- Alteration Assessment should include destructive investigation to identify potential hidden/concealed materials that were inaccessible while conducting this building inspection.
Additional building inspections should be performed prior to disturbance of assumed ACM, presumed ACM or any additional suspect ACM to verify the asbestos content of un-sampled materials.
The facility should keep and maintain on site all records associated with asbestos related activities conducted at the site, including but not limited to building inspections, sampling data, response actions, operations and maintenance activities, training records, etc.
4.0 LIMITED LEAD-BASED PAINT SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
4.1 General Information
TRC conducted a limited lead-based paint inspection of the subject building structure to inventory and collect samples of the predominant paints found in the building. Mr. Paul Semper, a licensed State of Michigan Department of Community Health Lead Risk Assessor, performed the inspection on July 17, 2014. A copy of Mr. Semper’s license is included in Appendix E.
- 8 -
The inspection included identification and preparation of an inventory of accessible predominant surface paint colors observed throughout the building and limited sampling of paints where feasible, without damaging aesthetics of the paint.
4.2 Sampling Procedures
The limited lead-based paint building inspection utilized limited bulk paint sampling with laboratory analysis for lead. Inspectors collecting paint chip samples attempt to collect a minimum of 2-4 square inch area, where all layers of paint are collected from a given substrate.
Sampling tools usually consist of scrapers, razor blades, sharp chisels, and, if needed, a heat gun useful to help loosen paint from its substrate. The most common paint sampling method is to manually scrape paint directly off the substrate. The goal is to remove all layers of paint equally, but to exclude the substrate. Including substrate in the sample dilutes the lead content if results are reported in ppm, µg/g, or weight percent. As each paint sample is collected, the scrapings are placed into laboratory supplied containers and labeled with unique sample identification numbers. For each sample, the inspector records the paint color, sampling location, substrate, and type of building component onto sample information logs and chain-of-custody documents.
Following the collection of each sample, the sampling tools are wiped/washed to avoid cross-contamination among samples.
4.3 Lead Analytical Methodology
As identified in TRC’s scope of work for this building inspection, paint chip sampling was specified. Paint chip samples were submitted to EMC Laboratories in Phoenix, Arizona, an Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP) certified laboratory (AIHA- LAP, LLC Laboratory Number 101586) and analyzed using Flame AAS (SW 846 Method 7420) methods. The laboratory analytical report is included in Appendix D.
4.4 Definition of Lead-Based Paint (LBP)
HUD defines LBP as any surface coating that contains lead at or above 5,000 parts per million (ppm) (0.5%). In addition, per GSA’s criteria paint and coatings that contain lead at or above 5,000 ppm or 0.5% are considered LBP.

The painted surfaces and components identified at this building were observed to be in Good or Fair condition at the time of the inspection. Laboratory analytical report of bulk paint sample analyses, the sampling locations, and corresponding paint conditions are included in Appendix D. Sample location diagrams are included in Appendix B.
4.6 LBP Conclusions and Recommendations
No LBPs were identified at the site.
Paints and coatings identified in this report as having concentrations of lead less than 5,000 ppm are not considered definition LBP, but may contain smaller concentrations of lead. Such paints can be categorized as lead-containing paints (LCP), meaning the paint contains lead, but in relatively low level concentrations. Contractor’s and construction workers should be aware that the Lead-In-Construction Standard contains provisions to regulate work activities (including LCP) where airborne lead exceeds the OSHA action level of 30 micrograms of airborne lead dust per cubic meter of air, regardless of the concentration of the lead in paints and coatings being disturbed at the job site. Therefore, compliance with the Lead-In- Construction Standard is required with regards to worker protection and exposure evaluation when paints containing any amount of lead are disturbed. Contractors are advised to read and understand this Standard to ensure OSHA compliance.
Prior to bid of work activities that will disturb LBP and/or paints with low levels of lead, TRC recommends preparation of a Lead-Paint Stabilization specification to accompany renovation/ demolition project documents. Such specification should be designed to assist contractors in
- 10 -the proper procedures to stabilize LBPs (and other paints with levels of detected lead) prior to their disturbance and incorporate the appropriate methods for exposure evaluation, work practices, and engineering controls to minimize exposure risk to workers. Prior to performing renovation or demolition in the building, GSA should perform a Pre-Alteration Assessment to determine if LBP will be impacted by the proposed project.
4.6.1 Non-Mandatory Best Practices
USEPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by USEPA (or a USEPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by USEPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.
Any contractor or maintenance staff who disturbs more than six square feet of lead-based paint, replaces windows or does any demolition while working in a pre-1978 home, school or day-care center, must be Lead-Safe Certified and trained in lead-safe work practices.
5.0 EXCLUSIONS
This building inspection is not intended to be comprehensive in nature and some materials were not to be treated as ACMs or LBPs and TRC has been instructed by the GSA Contracting Officer Representative, Mr. Philip A. Ramos, to exclude them from this report.
5.1 Asbestos Building Inspection Exclusions
Note that the asbestos building inspection was not comprehensive and does not constitute a pre-demolition/renovation survey. Per GSA, TRC did not perform destructive sampling for asbestos of any roofing system materials, wood, metal, terrazzo, stone, glass, cement, mortar, or bricks.
Additionally, GSA requested that ceramic tile and grout not be treated or included in the building inspection as suspect ACM. In addition as outlined in the RFP, with the exception of roofing materials, TRC was not to treat or include these building materials in the building inspection as suspect ACM. Further, per GSA, TRC did not perform destructive sampling for asbestos of floor baseboards or their adhesives or drywall systems.
5.2 Limited Lead-Based Paint Building Inspection Exclusions
Note that the limited lead-based paint building inspection was not comprehensive and does not constitute a HUD compliant lead paint inspection. Identified paints that were not sampled were not assumed and have been omitted from this report.
6.0 DISCLAIMER
The content presented in this report is based on data collected during the site inspection, review of pertinent regulations, requirements, guidelines and commonly followed industry standards, and information provided by the GSA, agents, and representatives.
The work has been conducted in an objective and unbiased manner and in accordance with generally accepted professional practice for this type of work. TRC believes the data and analysis to be accurate and relevant, but cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of available documentation or possible withholding of information of other
- 11 -parties. Findings presented in this report are only representative of conditions observed at the time of the building inspection and can change with time due to aging, weathering, remodeling, or other changes or site activities beyond TRC’s control.
This report is designed to aid the property owner, architect, construction manager, general contractor, and subcontractors in locating ACM, LBP and/or paints containing detectable levels of lead. This report is not intended for, and may not be utilized as a bidding document or as an abatement project specification document. The listed materials and respective locations given are specific only to those areas. TRC makes no representation regarding the extent of ACM and LBP, lead-containing paints or conditions pertaining thereto of areas located outside the contract scope of work.
OSHA regulations must still be followed for materials found to contain less than 1.0% asbestos;
however, restrictions are lifted for licensed asbestos abatement contractors to perform the abatement/disturbance work and the material may be disposed of as non-hazardous waste. Any sample can be subjected to the more stringent point count method of analysis to more precisely determine the actual asbestos content.
Per GSA, the building inspection could not employ the use of destructive sampling. Hidden building materials (e.g. old floor mastic patches hidden under carpeting), other than those discussed in this report, could be uncovered when removing building finishes during demolition, renovation, or maintenance activities. Any materials uncovered during such activities that are not addressed in this building inspection report, or presumed ACM containing material must be sampled by an accredited asbestos inspector prior to any disturbance, or they must otherwise be assumed to be ACM.
7.0 STATEMENT OF COMPLETION & REPORT SIGNATORY
TRC hereby certifies completion of the asbestos building inspection for the subject site, as defined by our contract scope of work, and has prepared this report of deliverable as evidence thereof. TRC appreciates the opportunity to be of service to the GSA. Should there be any questions regarding the information presented in this report, please feel free to contact us.

COST ESTIMATES TO REMOVE ACM
LABORATORY ANALYTICAL REPORTS
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT COST ESTIMATES
The table below provides cost estimates for removal of ACM prior to demolition and is based on TRC’s experience with similar projects/materials, knowledge of the industry and working with abatement contractors throughout the United States, and historical unit costs for abatement of similar materials under similar conditions. The pricing was developed using unit rates we’ve seen from abatement contractors. These costs are rough estimates only and assume the ACM will all be removed during one mobilization on consecutive working days.
